Original Reddit post

Author shares a 2026 allocation strategy favoring long-term stocks, a 20% Treasuries/muni buffer, 10-15% Bitcoin ETF, and sees silver as potentially undervalued.

BTC-USD — LONG Author allocates 10-15% to a Bitcoin ETF, willing to risk total loss, because he expects the Fed to keep printing money and people to seek a digital store of value. He remains long-term optimistic on Bitcoin despite accepting it could go to zero.

I allocate about 10-15% of my portfolio to a Bitcoin ETF. This is an amount I'm willing to risk. If it goes to zero, so be it. But long term, I'm optimistic. I have no doubt the Fed will just keep printing more money, and people will be looking for a digital store of value.

Unpriced research observations (excluded from Calls and Returns):

XAGUSD — LONG Author argues silver has room to rise because industrial demand from solar and EVs is real, supply is in deficit, investors seek alternatives to stocks, and inflation-adjusted 1980 peak implies $150-$200; the gold-to-silver ratio also suggests undervaluation. He cautions precious metals are better for short bursts and not a long-term wealth builder like stocks. Exact non-equity contract requires separate historical validation; no generic proxy.

there are good reasons for it to go higher. Industrial demand for solar and EVs is real, there's a supply deficit, and people are looking for alternatives to stocks. It's a perfect storm.
